Preflight and
Procedures
Preflight Inspection
Inspect the pitot tubes and static
vents for obstructions during the pre-
flight inspection. Check the wind-
shield alcohol reservoir sight gauge
to ensure fluid is visible
(Figure 5H-
18)
.
Inspect all deice boots and deice
boot over-board vents.
Accomplish a self-test of the temper-
ature monitor system during the
warning system check. Select the
W/S TEMP position on the rotary
test switch
(Figure 5H-19)
and then
turn the W/S BLEED AIR switch to
either HI or LOW. Verify proper sys-
tem operation by observing illumi-
nation of the W/S AIR O'HEAT
annunciator.
Servicing
Circumstances may require the pilot to
service the alcohol reservoir. Remove
the liner and reservoir filler plug. Add
alcohol to bring the fluid level to the
neck of the plug. Filling to above the
sight gauge provides a reserve supply
to perform the preflight inspection or
operational checks without replenish-
ing the reservoir.
Normal Operations
If operating in visible moisture dur-
ing taxi with OAT of 10°C or less
and visibilities less than one mile in
fog, ensure removal of all ice or frost
from the aircraft surfaces and oper-
ate the engine anti-ice systems one
out of every four minutes at 65% N
2
.
During takeoff, use of engine anti-
ice requires a reduced power setting,
an increased V
1
speed, and a longer
takeoff distance. Climb and cruise
power settings are also reduced.
On descent and approach into icing
conditions, keep engine turbine
speed (N
2
) above 65% for more effi-
cient bleed air anti-icing (use speed-
brakes as required). Compute go-
around power using engine anti-ice;
consider runway conditions for land-
ing field length.
During an approach in heavy icing,
check the engine inlets and the top of
the wings for any ice accumulation.
After landing, keep all aircraft sur-
faces clean for the next takeoff.
Encountering wet snow or slush on
the runway requires checking the
wheel wells for freedom from con-
tamination before the next flight.
The wells may be packed with wet
snow or slush which could re-freeze
at altitude and prevent proper opera-
tion of the landing gear.

Minimum safe

an approach.
